An Israeli drone strike on Tuesday killed two people and injured two others in the Shaara area of Janta, near Lebanon's eastern mountain range, reported Xinhua, quoting the state-run National News Agency (NNA).

The NNA said Israeli forces also dropped illumination flares between the village of Alma al-Shaab and the town of Naqoura in southern Lebanon.

A ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon has been in place since Nov. 27, 2024, halting nearly 14 months of hostilities triggered by the Gaza war.

The agreement called for an Israeli military withdrawal from Lebanese territory, but Israel maintains a presence in five positions along the border despite a Feb. 18 deadline.
